Abstract
We present the z = 0.3-0.7 cluster X-ray luminosity function (XLF) det ermined from the Southern Serendipitous High-Redshift Archival ROSAT C luster (SHARC) survey, Over the luminosity range L similar to (0.3-3) x 10(44) ergs s(-1) (0.5-2.0 keV), the XLF is in close agreement with that of the low-redshift X-ray cluster population, This s result great ly strengthens our previous claim of no evolution of the cluster popul ation, at these luminosities, ata median redshift of z = 0.44.
